Mandatory Update

sQuorum Core v1.0 is a mandatory update for all users. This release contains new consensus rules and improvements that are not backwards compatible with older versions. Users will need to update their clients before enforcement of this update goes into effect.

Update enforcement goes into effect at the following times:

Mainnet: Saturday, September 30, 2020 4:00:00 PM GMT

Masternodes will need to be restarted once both the masternode daemon and the controller wallet have been upgraded.

How to Upgrade

If you are running an older version, make a backup of your wallet.dat file and then shut down the wallet. Wait until it has completely shut down (which might take a few minutes for older versions), then run the installer to install the updated wallet.

If you had never installed the Helium Core client, then you are finished.

If you had previously been running Helium Core and used the default data folder and configuration file, you should rename the Helium data folder to sQuorum and rename the helium.conf configuration file to squorum.conf to access your old data Helium.

Where are these data files located on my computer?

Windows < Vista: C:\Documents and Settings\%Username%\Application Data\Helium (sQuorum)

Windows >= Vista: C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\Roaming\Helium (sQuorum)

Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Helium (sQuorum)

Unix: ~/.helium (squorum)
